Once De Guzman took the marked money, the undercover cop signalled his fellow officers positioned nearby. At that point, the duo sped off on a motorcycle and a chase ensued. The suspects were eventually cornered in a nearby barangay.

After ordering the driver to remove his helmet, the officers were surprised to see their colleague Manaloto.

Confiscated from Manaloto was his loaded 9mm Glock handgun, a fragmentation grenade and a plastic sachet of shabu weighing 2.5 grams.
